So, all last week I was in Virginia for a CISSP bootcamp with Vigilar Intense School. Six 14 hour days later, I sat for the exam.

My instructor was Larry Greenblatt, someone endorsed by Clement Dupois, and rightly so. Larry was by far the best instructor I've ever had. I highly recommend that anyone with the opportunity to meet him do so. (Check out his web-site)

I won't know for another week or two how I did on the exam, so I'm just trying to relax now that it's over. One thing is for certain, though. Pass or not, I've gained an immesurable amount of knowledge to take with me in my career.

Thanks to Larry.

p.s. - boney, this is the "Ethical Hacker" site, and it would be less than ethical for me to post any of the exam questions. Besides, they say that there is a rotating pool of approx. 7000 questions anyway.

I know how you feel. You're relieved it's over, but you're probably jumping out of your skin waiting for the results. After I did the exam, every email that came to my inbox made me jump until I heard the good news.

Thanks for making the point about sharing questions. Not only is this the "Ethical" Hacker Network, but also you would immediately lose your CISSP even before you attained it if you did such a thing.

As I stated the last time you asked, this is the [glow=red,2,300]ETHICAL[/glow] hacking community.

In addition, the (ISC)2 code of ethics prohibits me from doing so. I worked very hard to pass this exam and have no intention of jeopardizing the fruits of my labors. Plus, giving out the questions immediately lowers the value of the certification.

So, Boney, start reading. Read the Shon Harris All-In-One, the (ISC)2 Official Guide to the CBK, and anything else you can get your hands on. I studied for almost a year for this thing, then took a boot camp, and still didn't know how I did when I walked out of there.

Note: Effective 1 October 2007, professional work experience requirements for the CISSP® will increase from four to five years, and direct full-time security professional work experience will be required in two or more of the ten CISSP® CBK® domains. A new endorsement policy will also be in effect, requiring anyone who passes a CISSP, CAP®, or SSCP®exam to have their qualifications endorsed by another (ISC)² credential holder. These changes will not affect those who sit for an examination on or before 30 September 2007.
